I think there is some general confusion going on here. The ServiceMix
consumer bean expects a *JMS* ConnectionFactory, but that will not work
with the RabbitMQ connection factory, since it plays the same role
(connection management) but does *not* implement the necessary JMS
functionality. You will either have to wait until AMQP (or in this case
the RabbitMQ library) implements JMS, or write your own AMQP/Rabbit
transport for ServiceMix. Alternatively you might try a Qpid client
library which is reported to work against a Rabbit broker (though I cannot
say how well).
